I sketched this Italian scene with a flood of morning light coming down the street between buildings. It was in a hilltop town in Tuscany. Many people were up and the coffee bar was busy. The cast shadow from the two tourists was magnified giving them gigantic proportions. My quick sketch didn't note any of the colors, so, when painting, I chose a group of earthen colors that would be in harmony and typical of the village.
I feel right back in Italy as I work on these sketches and paintings. Accompanied with music from the Italian tenors, all that is missing is the magnificent food.
